Hornets to Participate in 2016 Southwest Airlines Orlando Pro Summer League

May 19, 2016 – The Charlotte Hornets announced today that the team will participate in the Southwest Airlines Orlando Pro Summer League which will be held at the Orlando Magic’s practice court at the Amway Center from July 2-8.

Details of the team’s mini-camp schedule and complete summer league roster will be announced separately.

Following the mini-camp in Charlotte, the Hornets will play five games over the course of seven days at the Southwest Airlines Orlando Pro Summer League. NBA teams scheduled to participate include the Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and two teams from the host Orlando Magic. The Hornets open play on Saturday, July 2 when they face the Orlando White team at 11 a.m.  Charlotte will play Indiana (Sunday, July 3 at 1 p.m.), Oklahoma City (Monday, July 4 at 5 p.m.) and Dallas (Wednesday, July 6 at 3 p.m.). The fifth Hornets’ opponent will be determined by the standings after the first four games and will be played on July 8.

Each team will play five games over the seven-day event, with a championship day being played on the final day of the league. A point system will establish the standings leading up to the final day, with eight points awarded each game based on: four points for winning the game and one point for winning a quarter (in the event of a tied quarter, each team will receive 0.5 points). In the event of ties in seeding heading into championship day, three tiebreakers will be in place: 1) total point differential; 2) total points allowed; 3) coin flip.

Due to space limitations, the event is not open to the public and will be open only to the media and professional team/league personnel. Fans can access box scores, game recaps and cumulative statistics by visiting www.orlandomagic.com.

Broadcast information for the Southwest Airlines Orlando Pro Summer League will be released at a later date.
